I have a strange issue on my wifes 2004 supersport 550 fan that i've never had happen before. I washed it off at the car wash, when i unloaded the machine off the trailer it started going into reverse on its own. If you rev up the engine when the rpm's come down it flips to reverse. Hit the reverse button and it goes back forward and will stay forward until you rev it up again and then the reverse light flashes and it goes reverse. It will idle all day and stay forward but reving it up and coming back down will do it everytime. It wont flip to reverse when under power just when it drops to idle. I've had seven polaris sleds with electronic reverse and never had this happen. Any ideas ???

You washed it at the carwash and since then it doesn't work . Perhaps you got the switch wet. Dry out the switch or get a new one.

I would agree! maybe try a hairdryer and dry the switch?water is a very good conductor
